Ingredients
- 1 eggplant chopped in 1/2 inch squares

- 1 large red onion chopped
- 1 pound ground chuck
- 3 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 cups uncooked parboiled rice

Directions
Step 1
In a large cast iron Dutch oven, fry the bacon and set aside. Remove half of the grease
Step 2
Add pork, ground chuck, onion, garlic, and seasonings. Brown entire mixture and remove excess grease.
Step 3
Add the cubed eggplant and cooked bacon. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes.
